Best regards from the comfort of my home! Today I’m back with more details about the making of my Morrigan cosplay. Cosplay of which, when I have photos, I will put some here.

| Nice lady. |
I have already told you about how I made the top and the necklace , the two components that I find most interesting in this outfit; but I also have photos of the rest of the things I have done to complete the scantily clad “look” of this witch of the wild. These aren’t big entry things, so this post is going to be a rehash of a little of everything that I have not explained previously.
Since this woman is dressed as if she had a serious orientation problem in the medieval market of her town aggravated by a pressing Diogenes syndrome, I chose different types of imitation leather to make the different parts of the cosplay. The coolest thing about this is that it is not noticeable and the texture seems the same everywhere, but I am excited to mention the detail.
In honor of the aforementioned psychiatric disorder, and in a desperate attempt to save money, I have made all the imitation leather garments with scraps that I had at home.
The first thing I did was that exorbitant number of belts that she has hanging from her skirt and surrounding her boots.
I made the belts with the pleather inside out, facing the front sides, turning them inside out and finishing the edges with the sewing machine.
Then I dedicated myself to tightening eyelets for a couple of days. he monster with a thousand eye(lets)!
I made a base skirt pattern, modified it to be longer in the back than in the front, and divided it into the different pieces it has.
Then I transferred the patterns to two layers of fairly thick imitation leather, joined the pieces and placed a zipper on the side, which cannot be seen because it has that belt that looks like a satchel on top. I attached the eyelet straps to the skirt, alternating heights and styles. Also, to reinforce that “Desigual” character, I decorated each belt with different finishes and stitching in black and ocher. Gipsy style.
I made the belt that goes on top with white fur fabric peeking out and I made the stitches by hand with a thick ocher thread.
To make the shoe covers, I wrapped my leg and foot with the shoe on in plastic wrap and masking tape. I drew the pieces it consists of above because, like the skirt, it has crazy stitches on top.
I rolled more belts with more eyelets and made the ankle decorations with EVA foam.
I know Morrigan doesn’t wear heels, but I’m once again the shortest one of the cosplay group. Or, at least, the shortest by far, hahahahaha.
The good thing about these boot covers is that I have made them with the toe exposed so that they can also be adapted to flat shoes, so, if I get tired at Expomanga, I put on other boots and live!
I also made the bracelets, the glove and the sleeve with imitation leather. The leatherette on the sleeve is falling apart in pieces and I love it for the dirty effect it gives. Very Morriganesque.
The shoulder pad, bracelets and glove decorations are made of EVA foam, primed with vinyl latex and painted with acrylics. I painted the gold finish with the wax that I mentioned in the previous post , Mayco “Touch ‘n Glo”. I fixed the feathers with hot glue.
To finish I will talk about the hairstyle. I bought a black wig with long bangs from an Ebay store (I don’t know which one right now). I made a ponytail, added a bun base that I had at home and wound the hair around it.
And I cut the very cute bangs. I’m so cool that I don’t have any photos of the bangs before I cut them, so I give you permission to think that the wig spontaneously generated like this.
As an extra, I leave you an image of the most ecological prop I have ever had. A perfect replica because God made it!! How do you like it?
The story of this stick is funny: we were in Fronda (a gardening shop in Madrid) and I saw one that was perfect. It was €90. Ninety euros for a dry branch!! Luckily my friend Sender had branches at his house and he gave me a couple. And that’s how I got my magic staff totally free. Thrilling.

It’s crooked, but that’s because of the battle effect.
And with this I have already told a little how I have done almost all of the Morrigan cosplay. I just need to premiere it at Expomanga and have tons of fun.
Until next time!
